I think as that continues, and the focus continues, we’ll see a lot more opportunities for the commercialization of the technology and the research that’s being generated right here. And I think that’s definitely an area that we should concentrate on.

But we can’t lose sight of the fact that we have a region here that has the ability to be a stronger player in logistics and transportation, especially when you look at the network of interstates that we have, the potential for the Northern Beltline, and also, just as importantly, the access provided by (Norfolk Southern’s Birmingham Regional Intermodal Facility in McCalla).

BBJ: Any projects looking at Birmingham now?

Canfield: In commerce, we at any given time have projects looking at the Birmingham region. And we currently have projects that we’re actively working that are looking at the Birmingham region. We’re just not at liberty to talk about the specifics of projects that haven’t been announced.
